27 June 2023 – Aix-en-Provence,
Coppernic is pleased to announce that they have selected the Paragon ID Universal Contactless Module for their new rugged handheld product line named Access-ER.
Building off their established Access handheld device, Coppernic has incorporated several new RFID and other data capture modules to address a wide variety of markets and applications.
The UCM108 module will provide the contactless RFID capability for applications such as ticket inspection or mobile point-of-sale (POS) onboard buses and trains, or in other Public Transportation applications.
“With the Paragon ID UCM108 module we can achieve a performance level that is far beyond what you can find in other mobile devices,” explained Sébastien Michon, Sales Director of the Smart City BU in Coppernic. “In addition to meeting the difficult RCTIF V5.0 / CEN/TS 16794 standards for Public Transport, we can also embed a SoftPOS solution for the collection of mobile payments or validating credit cards used in open payment systems”.
“We have a long history of working together with Coppernic,” added Christophe Peix, Director of the Smart Mobility BU at Paragon ID, “We are very pleased that they continue to offer our technology in their industry-leading handheld devices.”
The Access-ER from Coppernic continues their history of rugged Android based computers dedicated to Public Transportation. Currently more than 80% of the cities in France with more than 100,000 inhabitants are using Coppernic devices. “This new generation device is smaller, lighter, and fully integrated into a smart-phone form factor with a removable battery,” announced Sébastien Michon, “For ticketing applications, it is truly the right tool for the job.”
